The Hues of Sea-Wayes.

Professor Tyndall has come to the
help of marine artists. He explains
that there are three principal hues in
sea waves-blue, green and yellow-and
they show up in accordance with the
following scientific laws: Solid parti-
Giles held in the water act as minute
mirrors, rejecting the light which pene-
trates the liquid. The rays which are
sent out after having traversed only a
thin strata of water preserve their
yellow parts; but if the reflections are
attenuated the water appears green
and if they do not exist at all, the sea
being clear and free from muddy mat,
tiers, the color is deep blue. In ar
indigo sea the crest of the waves vii
appear green on account of their lacf
of thickness. Seaweed, animalcules
and other local or accidental causes
may have much influence on the color
of the water.

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film of
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums" 49, the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. T. Teller, NJ. D., Of Chittenango,
n. y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. lie
says: ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and | think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DIR. George +. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.
"Ayer's Pills outsell all similar prep
arations. The public having once used
them, will have no others. - Berry,

THE following highly complimentary
notice of Secretary Lamar appeared as
an editorial in a recent issue of the
Globe Democrat. 1t affords us genuine
pleasure to see newspaper rise above
party prejudice and acknowledge abili-
ty and worth wherever found. Indeed
it takes ability to be able to do this,
and it but confirms what we have often
said, that so far as ability goes the
Globe Democrat towers above every re-
publican paper in the west as high as
Olympus above the hills:
eff it should turn out to be true, as
is now reported, that Secretary Lamar
is to succeed the late Justice Woods on
the supreme bench, the country will
have no reason to be dissatisfied with
the choice. If there is any particular
fairness in making a geographical al
lotment of the positions in that tribu-
nal, the South is entitled to the vacant
place, and there is no man in the South
whose name occurs to our mind at this
moment who would be likely to more
fully meet the exacting requirements
of that eXhalted office than the present
head of the Department of the Interi-

From Kansas to Europe.

Readers of the Kansas Farmer will
remember that this paper has advo-
Gated the opening of trade avenues
direct between Kansas and Europe,
ard that when the Atchison, Topeka
q Santa Fe railway company pur-
chased Texas railroad system and
connected it with Kansas, our readers
were encouraged to believe that the
movement would prove to be of great
value to the farmers of this state, for
the reason that, as it then appeared
10 our minds, it was opening the great
highway which we so much needed.
1t is asserted that the Santa Fe COM
pany is about to establish weekly
line Of steamers between Galveston,
Texas, and Liverpool, England. The
company owns dock facilities at Gal
weston which will be improved for
the purpose named.
This is matter of Importance to
the people of Kansas. 1t will put
them as near Liverpool as they now
are to New York. That is to say,
grain, flour, meat, etc., can be carried
from Kansas to Liverpool at rates
about the same as those charged for
transportation of like articles to New
York, and it will amount to a differ
ance of 5 cents a bushel on wheat
and % cents barrel Oh flour. The
distance between Topeka and New
York City is nearly twice as great as
that between Topeka and Galveston.
Chicago is about the same distance
from Kansas that Galveston is. Take
9. map of the United States, place one
foot of the dividers on Wichita, Kas !,
and the other on Chicago, Ill; then
describe Il circle with that radius 1t
will be found that Galveston, Texas,
is very nearly on the line. This fact
is an important one in relation to the
trade of Kansas. Farmer.

THE excursion to Trinidad which
passed through this place recently,
carrying an immense number of people
to see that city and the western cOun-
try ought to remind the people of Great
Bend that they should long before this
have had something of this kind. PeO-
pie are anxious to come out and see a
western town, and whenever an eXcur-
sion is given there is sure to be IL crowd.
And they never fail to do some good.
Let, say five hundred people come to
Great Bend OH an excursion and ut
least from twenty to fifty will decide
to make it their homes. In addition
to this much larger number will buy
property and thus become interested
i'll the town. This paper several
weeks ago urged that we have an ex-
cursion, but nothing was done. Is it
not possible to organize something of
the kind for this summer?

MAYOR Hewitt, of New York, has
been giving the workmen some very
plain and sensible advice. If there is
one man in the United States who has
a right to talk to the wOrkmen in a
plain. common sense way, that man is
Abram $. Hewitt. Mr.. Hewitt was
born poor and by his individual efforts
amassed every dollar of his fortune
which is now of considerable size. The
substance of his remarks on the subject
of anti-poverty societies was that he
was highly favorable to the work which
they are attempting, viz: The Danish
ment of poverty. But he thinks that
each individual will have to organize
and control a society himself. That is
each workman should set to work to
Danish poverty from his own door, and
he thinks the result will he that pow
erty will he banlshed from the land.
AS we have said, no man has a better
right to speak on this subject than
Mayor Hewitt and while his remarks
may not suit Mr.. George and DIR. Nc
Glyn or their theories. vet in the end
the workmen will find that this is
about the only plan to Danish poverty
from the country.

OF ALL the senseless partisan move
ments ever engineered through an or
ganiZatiOn protesting to be nOn-parti-
san, the act of Lincoln Post No. |, of
Topeka. takes the palm. This body of
old soldiers have 50 far forgotten pa
triotism i'll their party zeal that they
have publicly resolved that the visiting
of President Cleveland to st. Louis
during the annual encampment is an
insult to the union soldiers. Mr..
Cleveland represents IL party which
furnished more soldiers to quell the
rebellion than did the republican party,
and this action of the post at Topeka
is IL gratuitous insult to all those brave
soldiers and sailors. Mr.. Cleveland
was elected by the democratic party as
president, but when elected he was the
president of republicans as well as
democrats and by virtue of this cleo
ton is commander-in-chiefo of the army
and navy. We commend the sensible
letter of General Sherman on this sub
ject to the earnest consideration of
Lincoln Post.

If JetmOre has found coal at Il depth

that Great Bend can find the same at

the matter is, properly considered, we
are inclined to believe that the senti-

that we might make a failure, the ex-
pense in that contingency would be

WITH energy and perseverance Great
Bend has the fairest prospects of any
town in central Kansas. But If we lie
idle expecting our wonderful natural
advantages to win the battle we shall
find some day that we were woefully
mistaken. Now is the golden OppOr-
tunity for us by pushing the advantage
we already have to gain lead over all
competitors that they can never over
come. But we should now go to work.
Other towns have had excursions, but
we have never even tried to organize
one. Other towns smaller than this
are boring for coal or natural gas, but
we are still talking about the matter.
In fact it seems to the many that
we are neglecting many things that we
should not, and now is the time to COZ
rect these evils.
